Our past cannot come back.


In the past, I had never thought about myself twenty years later. For me, at that time this idea was too far away. If you asked me if I was worried or uneasy about the future, the answer was yes. A lot of worries even have an uncertain fear about the future, though, but I'm not really trying my best to find what I need to do but just let myself aimlessly go through the days.


The world in me and the world outside seems to have a wall of separation, even though it is the world that all exists. The outside world is a dynamic world and the world in me is like standing still.


An eighteen-year-old should have been busy studying but I am not. Like many people say, I missed the quiet lecture hall behind me. Strictly speaking, I have no motivation or will to do anything. Actually I don't know what kind of person I want to be or what I want to do. I let time pass as it always is. Because of that, the most important youth in my life was the inner days I struggled with myself. I wonder when I waste my youth so much?


Once upon a time, there was this dream, that dream when growing up. But the "future" of the old days used to say, it is no longer imaginable. Only the regret of what has not been done, or the regret of not doing better, all the things that cannot be changed now. I of that day had too much regret. Although I understand myself have to do something to change. There are things, what I want to do, what I should do, I do not know.


Because sometimes life changes completely in an instant, it's so quick that we don't understand what happened to us. I don't know whether you believe in blessing or luck, but I believe in the world is full of good things, only whether we realize or brave grasp it.


That rain seemed to give me a blessing ...


On that sultry summer afternoon in May, I walked into a coffee shop on my way to the library, to avoid the stifling heat here. I sat deep inside the shop, which made it impossible for me to observe outside. Therefore, when I finished my coffee cup, I decided it was time to go to the library, but I was surprised when it had rained. Sitting in the coffee shop, but my mind wandered around with wild thoughts, so if someone said it was raining, I wouldn't know, so I just walked out and regretted it immediately. Originally, the shop was crowded because everyone was trying to sit back to avoid the rain, now there were more guests from outside, so the table I sat before had new people, actually came to the door and I was afraid to stay long. I think it must be done with the rain, the library is a bit away, to get there, it must be wet, but if it is wet, I cannot be inside. Not sure how I don't know what made me make a decision. There was a guy who just entered the shop with an umbrella in hand, I didn't know where I was confidently saying:


Excuse me, can you lend me an umbrella to the library recently, I'll bring it back later?


As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that I was crazy, I knew I would be humiliated by such an unreasonable request. On the contrary, he smiled and said:


Well, that's fine, but let me go with you, lead the way, I'll hold the umbrellas for both.


I was surprised for a few seconds and then quickly said:


Well, okay, thank you.


It was raining heavily outside, I could only walk silently beside, and I was still not surprised by what just happened when he spoke about me to me. He came to this city to visit, and this is his first time here. This surprised me, even more, when he dared to help a stranger, in a strange place like me. I didn't know what to say at that time. Finally, I ask:


So how do you feel about this city?


He said, it's very beautiful and will come back again and again. I didn't care much about what he said at the time, other than looking forward to getting to the library quickly, because maybe we would only meet once. After walking for a while, he asked me if it was still far, "ahead", I answered, he took out his cellphone from the pocket and asked me,


Can we stay in touch?


I think this is normal and should immediately agree. When I arrived at the library, I hurriedly walked into the hall, then said goodbye, he stood waiting for me to enter and also said goodbye. I did not notice how he came back. Going into the library, I found myself not really thankful, so I could only send a message of thanks to him. The next day I received a reply. At this moment, I know that yesterday was the last day he was here, and it has been a long time since I was on the plane until he can reply to my message.


Message: "You know, the memories when I came to this city will be the best memories of me. The place is very beautiful and the food is also very delicious. But the most important thing is that I had to be very lucky to meet you. ” It is only now that I realize that I can bring happiness to others, not because I helped them or I received help. But the great thing here is that it made me realize, at least someone took my existence seriously, making it a blessing to see me.


Human life, at least 60 years, is what everyone wants you to do. It is time for me to decide for myself a life other than myself that no one else can live on.


There were no pre-painted paths or pre-written formulas for success, even deciding how and where to start was very difficult. But I really want to be a person who makes anyone I meet to feel happy to know such a person.


Whatever you do in life will not make sense to everyone, but it is important that you do what no one else will do. I know there will be people who think that it is natural and normal for someone who is not used to helping someone to be difficult, every day somewhere in the world. But for me, among so many people at that time, the moment of getting help from her - was a very important one, it brought a big change in my life.


I am living and I cherish every day that I can do what I love, I cherish the preciousness of meeting people. I am trying to live every single "today" so that every day I can think that today I have also taken another step towards my dream.


Precious life is only once. At least there should be once, daring to pursue something that others thought was impossible, something that could not be easily touched.


Remember me!
